Hoover , Kennedy and McKinley students participated in the First Annual <br /> Teen Variety Show held at McKinley School . There were sixteen different <br /> acts including singing , skits , pantomime and band exhibits . Over 400 <br /> spectators enjoyed the show which was made possible through the coopera - <br /> tion and support of the school ' s facility and administration . <br /> The Bay Area Teen Staff had its second teen workshop in Oakland . Rec - <br /> reation leaders felt the workshop was very productive . Many partici - <br /> pants returned with new ideas and a more positive outlook in working <br /> with teens . <br /> On May 23 , sixteen ( 16 ) volunteers were trained in the procedures and <br /> policies of the Parks & Recreation Department . The teens were also <br /> shown how to answer phones , take messages , do publicity and work with <br /> the public . The volunteer program is a big part of the Red Morton <br /> Center and attempts are being made to expand the program to include <br /> service projects for other areas . <br /> This is the last month for structured recreation nights at the Center <br /> and Hoover School . Thousands of teens have participated and enjoyed <br /> being with recreation leaders and friends . Recreation nights have <br /> proven that teens enjoy being with their own peer group . There will <br /> be recreation nights during the summer but not always structured . <br /> Noon -time programs were closed this month . Noon - time activities helped <br /> teens to identify with the Recreation Center . Leaders are now in the <br /> process of helping with graduation parties . <br /> - 13 - <br />
